Description

W.H.Freeman & Co Ltd, 1973 About the book: This landmark text offers a rigorous full-year graduate level course on gravitation physics, teaching students to: · Grasp the laws of physics in flat spacetime · Predict orders of magnitude · Calculate using the principal tools of modern geometry · Predict all levels of precision · Understand Einstein's geometric framework for physics · Explore applications, including pulsars and neutron stars, cosmology, the Schwarzschild geometry and gravitational collapse, and gravitational waves · Probe experimental tests of Einstein's theory · Tackle advanced topics such as superspace and quantum geometrodynamics The book offers a unique, alternating two-track pathway through the subject: · In many chapters, material focusing on basic physical ideas is designated as Track 1. These sections together make an appropriate one-term advanced/graduate level course (mathematical prerequisites: vector analysis and simple partial-differential equations). The book is printed to make it easy for readers to identify these sections. · The remaining Track 2 material provides a wealth of advanced topics instructors can draw from to flesh out a two-term course, with Track 1 sections serving as prerequisites..
